Ontario’s fiscal watchdog says the province has $4.4 billion more allocated to health-care than what’s needed to fund current programs and commitments made until 2026.
TORONTO -
The Financial Accountability Office of Ontario says the excess money could be used for new programs, enhancing old programs or using it to pay down the province’s debt.It says the change is due to more than $15 billion in new health-care funding in the province’s recent budget. In a special report in March, the FAO said the province was projected to be short 33,000 nurses and personal support workers by 2028.
The province and the federal government recently agreed to a health-care deal that would see more than $8 billion flow to Ontario, which the province said it would use to help hire more nurses and health-care workers.
